Description
The Diamond Heart sountrack is an original composition by LikeFire1989 using classical orchestral themes to bring together a large sound to represent the story of Wyn, our protagonist. All three tracks were created and composed in Ableton.
Step into the world of our young and unlikely hero, Wyn, as he embarks on a daring quest in the Realm of Lumina, the Land of the Waterkin, to find the Diamond Heart, a magical stone rumored to reside in the deepest depths of the Darkreach Waters. Legend says it grants its holder the ability to manipulate time and traverse worlds. Zenith, the Lord of Darkveil, seeks the throne of Lumina and will stop at nothing to claim the Heart.
Wyn is set on this quest by the Elder of Silverleaf, a small village in Lumina. Accompanied by his loyal companion, Flicker, a magical badger, Wyn embarks on a journey filled with fantastic adventures and peril. Together, they must stop Zenith's malevolent pursuit and restore peace to the world of Lumina.

Totally plunges the listener into the atmosphere of a quest, perils, battles, happy escapes and victories! I like the big orchestra sound and the composition. Very cool soundtrack, would love to play a game with this OST :)
The Diamond Heart and Beyond the Veil sound as classic adventurous pieces of music that will never become outdated. Totally nailed it :)
Winds and Whispers has a unique ambience with the synth nicely integrated into classical orchestra, thumbs up!
Really appreciate your feedback and kind words. Really good to hear. This has been such a fun process and is our first jam. Looking forward to checking out your work and thanks again!
I really like the little lead in wind and whispers, it blends so well behind it all. Overall it would certainly fit on a jrpg soundtrack, super nicely done!!!
Very nice arrangements in each composition! I can feel the sense of adventure, fear, and excitement in all of the tracks.
Very enjoyable listening experience, well done!
Thank you for the kind words and good luck in the competition!
Great orchestration! All the instruments work really well together, and the synths are integrated into the orchestral sound successfully.
Your use of meter is really fun and flows gracefully, which is sometimes hard to achieve.
Good job!
Thanks a lot. We appreciate the kind words!
This soundtrack is BEAUTIFULLY orchestrated, especially the second track, Wind and Whispers (very big Blind Guardian vibes from that). The percussion is done really tastefully and I love the overall quality of this OST.
Thanks for the comment! We appreciate it
Really love the emotional content of your compositions. They perfectly capture the essence of questing and adventure. Very well done!
Thanks a lot! We appreciate it. Good luck with the competition!
Has an old JRPG feel to it! You definitely was able to communicate that fantasy atmosphere with this soundtrack!
That's what we were going for. Appreciate the kind words!
This is an absolute vibe and I adore these. Fantastic work, I think I'm ready for adventure!
Thanks a lot. We appreciate it!
Whao! I love this! Sounds just like an adventure! And my, that artwork is lovely, so fitting. Great work all round. I really love the energy you are able to capture with each song.
Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate it.
Your welcome! I really, really enjoyed the motions and composing! Good luck in the competition!
Winds and whispers is an absolute banger. The others are really good too ! I love everything about thoses track, and something in the textures really brought me back to playing rayman on PS1. Absolutly beautifull <3
Hey thanks a lot! PS1 is where our hearts truly lie 😎
Stunning orchestration and extremely well mixed! Absolutely love your guitar playing! You’ve put together 3 extremely cohesive and well composed tracks! Love every one of them! Also, the cover art is phenomenal!!
Really appreciate you taking the time to listen to all of them! Thank you!
Another Ableton enthusiast, I'm a big fan of orchestral music ! You managed it pretty well nice workk !!
Thanks a lot! We are new to orchestral composition but Ableton has been a go to for us for many years now. Appreciate you listening and commenting!
Loved it! It all feels so atmospheric and epic, and the way you drive home the beat and slowly build up the music is fantastic. I really liked all three, but I think if I had to choose one, my favorite would be Beyond The Veil. It's just so beautiful. Great job!
Thanks for the kind words! We had a good time creating these. Good luck!
Very epic work...
I wanted to pick up a sword (which magically appeared in my hands after listening to The Diamond Heart) and go on an adventure!
Winds And Whispers made me want to climb high mountains and camp in an abandoned diamond mine.
Beyond The Veil... Beautiful) Just beatiful!
Great job with the instruments! The work of a good composer is immediately visible
Thanks for the kind words. We really appreciate the feedback!
Great tracks that really nail that epic fantasy feel, have to agree with everyone else that the artwork is top notch too.
Thanks for the feedback! We really appreciate it
Epic tracks with a lot of emotion that fit the theme really well. Love the artwork also, it stands out from the rest for sure. Should definitely be a top contender based on the entries I've listened to so far.
We appreciate it! Thanks for the kind words
This is fantastic work! I love the fantasy throwback theme, and the artwork makes me feel like this could be a REAL game! All three of these songs are very chohesive, and feel like part of the same world. Orchestral elements and acoustic guitar are the familiar foundation, but colored with beautiful string/woodwind and brass elements. Listening to the climax at the end of Beyond The Veil made me feel like I had just overcome an incredible, epic adventure in the best way! Thanks for making this.
Thanks for the kind words man! Also, BOMBERMAN
Nice compositions overall very Runescapy but with more Epicness, the only thing to improve is that the whole mix especially the orchestral sounds are far away and a bit muddy, they can probably be a little bit more in your face with a better reverb control.
Thank you! We appreciate your feedback!
Absolutely nailed the theme - each of the tracks are unapologetically reminiscent of a sword-swinging adventure game. Beyond the Veil is a fantastic example of arrangement when it comes to the orchestral elements supporting the guitar and vice-versa as the track progresses. Great crescendo half-way through; really has an epic but triumphant feel to it. Great work!
Thanks so much we really appreciate your kind feedback!
